AUG. 26 TRAONACH. We’ll start our fall series of live shows with the Celtic band Traonach. Jigs and reels, and songs as well as tunes. It’s an Irish session writ large. Traonach will get your toes tapping. They just plain have fun playing their music, and the fun is very contagious. www.facebook.com/traonach
SEPT. 2 TRACY GRAMMER. Tracy is a fine songwriter and a collector of other people’s songs as well. She’s a magical performer. She’s making her second visit to Bound for Glory, but the first one was back in 2001, with her late partner Dave Carter. Join her as she spins her delightful web. Tracygrammer.com
SEPT. 9 HUGH O’DOHERTY. Hugh is a really neat songwriter. He tells stories about real people and their lives. He’s full of good humor and will make you smile. Just of moment later, he’ll make you think. We’re pleased to have him make his first appearance on Bound for Glory. Sonicbids.com/band/hughodoherty
SEPT. 16 JOHN ROBERTS. John Roberts sings songs in the English folk tradition. He’s both expert at the serious long ballads of old, and full of good humor. John has a huge repertoire, and we’ll never know what to expect until it happens. Fifty years ago John was a big part of the Ithaca folk scene. He’s back again. Johnrobertsmusic.com
SEPT. 23 BOBBY HENRIE AND AARON LIPP. Boy, can these guys play. And sing. Flatpicking extraordinaire. Bobby is inspired by the late Doc Watson. Aaron is inspired by… Aaron. They really respect the American folk tradition, and the country songs of many decades ago. Aaronlipp.com
SEPT. 30 LARRY KAPLAN. Larry Kaplan writes songs that other people sing and record, and many of them don’t know where they come from. Larry Kaplan is a hero, a writer of strong songs that travel before him. He’s both laid back and charming, and his second Bound for Glory performance will be a very special show. larrykaplanmusic.com
